My point, which I figured was obvious, is that it's dumb to complain that games use the term Epic, when you subscribe to an entirely different definition of it. It looks like you grasped that, so I'm not sure why you had to ask me what my point was. I also disagree that it was a verbal assault. Ignoring you would also give you a free pass to spout forth similar nonsense. If you don't like my dissections of your posts, don't post nonsense, ignore me, or leave the forum.

Delaying a game past the Christmas season is uncommon, and only done in rarer circumstances. Nothing doubtful about it. It's not surprising that the Christmas season is the time period where retail sales are at its highest.

You are included in the "some other posters that haven't posted nearly as much."

That wasn't the point. The point is that players that play on the PK are typically good defenders. They certainly aren't "loser players." Poor defensive players typically do not play on the PK. That's not to say that failure to play on the PK makes that player a defensive liability. IMO, after years of watching Jagr, his best defensive ability is his dominating offensive ability. Much like a Lemieux or Gretzky.

And it's complete bull that Fallout ends smiply because I don't help the vault or the Master. Horrible railroading if I've ever seen it. I've never made it out of it, so for once I agree with you. It's so bad I dont even want to know what the rest of the game is like. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> For what it's worth, I'm a huge Gothic fan. And I feel Baldur's Gate 2 is a much better game. In other news, outside of Gromnir and some other posters that haven't posted nearly as much, this thread has convinced me that humanity is filled with a bunch of absolute retards. It's a sad day when Volourn is the next most rational person after Gromnir.

Just for the record, Half-Life 2 wasn't announced until it was already in development for 5 years. Silence != abandoned. Then don't use words that have generally accepted definitions. This is one of the most retarded posts I've ever seen. You get your point smashed back into your face, and the declare that the only definition you need is yours. Well, I doubt Bioware uses your definition for the word Epic, so if you want to interpret their usage with your definition, then you are wrong.

I think it more determines the ability to outscore (which is important). To be honest I think it's actually useless as a defensive measure. Many exceptionally talented defensive players do not have good +/- because their entire job is to shut down a player, and scoring goals is not typically something that comes frequently. A talented offensive line that attacks very aggressively will typically have much better +/- scores. I'd rather look at takeaways and blocked shots as defensive stats, but blocked shots for instance are biased towards defensemen.

I wouldn't consider the +/- to be all that telling for defensive abilities. Gretzky was +98 one season, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't because of his monster defensive abilities (nor those of his linemates).

It is, it is.

Anything is automatically more fun when playing with more people.

If by Freespace you mean Freelancer, then yes FOr some stupid reason, Juan there was doing circles at cruise speed, so jags and I set up camp along it's path and shot him up as he flew past.

My math teacher played that game with us in class. 2 people out of 30 got it right. Unfortunatly I was not one of them. Figured it out later though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Woo, I figured out the pattern on my second try. Which is much, much, MUCH better than I did at jags' test.

Someone's trying to be deep.

I remember seeing one of those 8" diskettes. Had a good laugh when I saw it.

It'd be an autobiography.

Well, the 5.25" were more flexible, but the 1.44 MB 3.5" diskettes are still very "floppy woppy," it's just they have a hard case around them now.

When did the 1.44 MB diskette not become a floppy?

Popularity means zip. It should go to the person who makes the best mod. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do you live in the real world? Popularity is a huge part of any contest. You are wrong because "who makes the best mod" is subject to opinion. I would much rather be the most popular mod maker than the best modmaker...but the two tend to go hand in hand. Now the contest is only judging one small mod from each person, but you can bet that already being well known in the community will make it easier to get a higher opinion. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Which is exactly the problem. I suspect the concern is that he got votes based on his previous work, rather than the mod submitted.

Here's hoping!

Installing Doomsday. Doom doom doom doom.

I blame Belfour ) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ) EDIT: Oh yeah... w0000t!!!!

Oh noes he noticed the subliminal message! :ph34r:

I'm leaving for the Dominican in roughly 12 hours, and will be incommunicado for the next two weeks. Meta, pretend that I am constantly wows0ring your literary skills. Volo, pretend I'm digging up some info regarding Mark Messier to try to invalidate a point you are making. Jags and Bok....pretend I'm right there on your wing, covering you as you move in for the kill on those Mollys. Darque, pretend we're engaged in pointless chitchat. Hades, pretend I'm finding a way to scrutinize your posts. Kor, the rally cap will be with you....always. Keep the faith. Copper and Blue. Deraldin....you're a flames fan...be thankful I acknowledge your existence Everyone else, imagine that I'm relaxing some place similar to this: Later everyone. Allan
